NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management, and which statements involve substantial risk and uncertainties. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, market growth and trends, and objectives for future operations are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions.

These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, risks related to global macro-economic conditions, including the effects of inflation, rising interest rates and market volatility on the global economy; our ability to estimate the size of our total addressable market, and the development of the market for our products, which is new and evolving; our ability to effectively sustain and manage our growth and future expenses, achieve and maintain future profitability, attract new customers and maintain and expand our existing customer base; our ability to scale and update our platform to respond to customers’ needs and rapid technological change; the effects of increased competition in our market and our ability to compete effectively; our ability to expand use cases within existing customers and vertical solutions; our ability to expand our operations and increase adoption of our platform internationally; our ability to strengthen and foster our relationships with developers; our ability to expand our direct sales force, customer success team and strategic partnerships around the world; the impact of any data breaches, cyberattacks or other malicious activity on our technology systems; our ability to identify targets for and execute potential acquisitions; our ability to successfully integrate the operations of businesses we may acquire, and to realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions; our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our brand; the sufficiency of our cash, cash equivalents and capital resources to satisfy our liquidity needs; limitations on us due to obligations we have under our credit facility or other indebtedness; our failure or the failure of our software to comply with applicable industry standards, laws and regulations; our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual property; our ability to successfully defend litigation against us; our ability to attract large organizations as users; our ability to maintain our corporate culture; our ability to offer high-quality customer support; our ability to hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel, including executive level management; our ability to successfully manage and integrate executive management transitions; our ability to estimate the size and potential growth of our target market; uncertainties regarding the impact of general economic and market conditions, including as a result of regional and global conflicts or related government sanctions; our ability to successfully implement and maintain new and existing information technology systems, including our ERP system; and our ability to maintain proper and effective internal controls.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2025. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to conform such statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law.

REBORN COFFEE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Reborn Coffee, Inc. (“Reborn”) was incorporated in the State of Florida in January 2018. In July 2022, Reborn was migrated from Florida to Delaware, and filed a certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware having the same capitalization structure as the Florida predecessor entity. Reborn has the following subsidiaries:

●

Reborn Global Holdings, Inc. (“Reborn Holdings”), a California Corporation incorporated in November 2014. Reborn Holdings is engaged in the operation of wholesale distribution and retail coffee stores in California to sell a variety of coffee, tea, Reborn brand name water and other beverages along with bakery and dessert products.

●

Reborn Coffee Franchise, LLC (the “Reborn Coffee Franchise”), a California limited liability company formed in December 2020, is a franchisor providing premier roaster specialty coffee to franchisees or customers. Reborn Coffee Franchise continues to develop the Reborn Coffee system for the establishment and operation of Reborn Coffee stores using one or more Reborn Coffee marks. Reborn Coffee Franchise has one franchise as of December 31, 2025.

●

Reborn Realty, LLC (the “Reborn Realty”), a California limited liability company formed in March 2023, is an entity which acquired a real property located in Brea, California.

●

Reborn Coffee Korea, Inc. (the “Reborn Korea”) – a Korea corporation located in Daejeon, South Korea formed in October 2023, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Reborn with one retail coffee store under the brand name of Reborn Coffee. Reborn Korea had no operations in 2025.

●

Reborn Malaysia, Inc. (the “Reborn Malaysia”) – a Malaysian corporation located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia formed in October 2023, is majority owned subsidiary of Reborn with one retail coffee store under the brand name of Reborn Coffee.

●

Reborn Logistics, Inc. (the “Reborn Logistics”) – a California corporation incorporated in September 2025. Reborn Logistics provides comprehensive freight forwarding, transportation and logistics services. Reborn holds a 51% interest in Reborn Logistics.

Going Concern Matters

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $32.5 million as of March 31, 2026 and a net loss before income taxes of $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

To support its existing and planned business model, the Company needs to raise additional capital to fund our future operations. The Company has not experienced any difficulty in raising funds through loans and has not experienced any liquidity problems in settling payables in the normal course of business and repaying loans when they fall due. Successful renewal of our loans, however, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. In addition, the increasingly competitive industry conditions under which we operate may negatively impact on our results of operations and cash flows. Additional financing is anticipated to fund the Company’s operations in near future. However, there can be no assurance that any of this financing can be obtained or that the Company can continue as a going concern.

Bassi of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“Unaudited Interim Financial Statements”) of the Company and its 100%-owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these Unaudited Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These Unaudited Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the Unaudited Interim Financial Statements included herein contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The operating results and cash flows of the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Segment Reporting

FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires public companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. Operating segments are identified based on the manner in which the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates financial information, business activities, and performance results.

Management has identified two reportable operating segments: (i) Reborn Coffee, which includes both wholesale and retail sales of coffee, water, and other beverages, and (ii) Reborn Logistics, which provides freight forwarding services.

The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM evaluates segment performance primarily based on revenues, income from operations, and other income (expense). Assets by segment are not reviewed by the CODM in assessing segment performance and, accordingly, are not disclosed.

The following table presents a summary of operating performance by reportable segment for the periods indicated:

	Reborn Coffee			Reborn Logistics		Others / Elimination		Total
Revenue		1,824,895			3,386,552				5,211,447
Income (loss) from operations		(1,562,366.00	)		682,304		7,377		-872,685
Other income (expenses)		(620,555.00	)						-620,555

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Such estimates include accounts receivables, accrued liabilities, income taxes, long-lived assets, and deferred tax valuation allowances. These estimates generally involve complex issues and require management to make judgments, involve analysis of historical and future trends that can require extended periods of time to resolve, and are subject to change from period to period. In all cases, actual results could differ materially from estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company’s net revenue primarily consists of revenues from its retail stores and wholesale and online store. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue as follows:

●

Retail Store Revenue

Retail store revenues are recognized at the point of sale when payment is tendered. Retail store revenues are reported net of sales, use, or other transaction taxes collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities. Sales taxes payable are recorded as accrued liabilities within other current liabilities

●

Wholesale and Online Revenue

Wholesale and online revenues are recognized when products are delivered and title passes to the customer or to wholesale distributors. When customers pick up products at the Company’s warehouse or when products are delivered to wholesale distributors, title transfers and revenue is recognized at that time.

●

Retail Store Revenue

●

Wholesale and Online Revenue

●

Service Income – Reborn Logistics

Service income is primarily derived from Reborn Logistics’ freight forwarding and logistics services. The Company recognizes service revenue when shipment transactions are delivered. Each shipment transaction or service order generally represents a separate contract with a customer. A performance obligation is established once a customer agreement with an agreed-upon transaction price exists. The transaction price is typically fixed and is not contingent upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of future events, and payment is generally due within 45 to 60 days from the invoice date.

The Company’s transportation arrangements involve organizing the movement of freight to a customer’s destination. Transportation services, including certain ancillary services such as loading and unloading, freight insurance, and customs clearance, represent a single performance obligation, as these services are not distinct in the context of the contract. This performance obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognized as control of the services transfers to the customer during the transit period, as the customer’s goods move from origin to destination.

The Company evaluates whether it controls the transportation services provided to determine whether it is acting as a principal or an agent. The Company has determined that it acts as the principal in its transportation service arrangements, as it controls pricing, manages all aspects of the shipment process, and assumes the risks associated with delivery and collection. Accordingly, service income is presented on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations.

●

License Revenue

The Company has entered into license agreements that allow licensees to operate and market Reborn Coffee branded stores and products under the Reborn Coffee trademarks. Under these agreements, the Company provides ongoing services, including training, marketing support, system updates, and other operational assistance. As the Company is required to provide these ongoing services, license revenue is recognized over the term of the license agreement. License agreements typically have initial terms of three years and may be renewed for additional periods.

Product, Food and Drink Costs – Stores, Wholesales and Online

Product, food and drink costs – stores, wholesale and online primarily include the costs of ingredients of food and beverage sold and related supplies used in customer service. The wholesale and online sales also include costs of packaging and shipping.

Cost of service income – subcontractors (Reborn Logistics)

Cost of service income – subcontractors mainly represent the cost of independence contractors and third-party carriers in the performance of its freight forward and transportation services.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company incurred freight out costs, which are primarily included in the Company’s cost of sales – wholesale and online. Freight in costs, when attached to a specific purchase, are included as a component of the cost of the purchased goods and materials items and allocated to accounts in accordance with the nature of the goods. When the freight in costs are not allocable to an individual purchase or are more significant, they are recorded to a freight and shipping account within cost of sales.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense includes store-related expense as well as the Company’s corporate headquarters’ expenses.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivables are stated net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined primarily on the basis of past collection experience and general economic conditions. The Company determines terms and conditions for its customers based on volume transacted by the customer, customer creditworthiness and past transaction history. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, allowance for doubtful accounts were $84,219 and $75,689, respectively. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet exposure related to its customers.

Inventory

Inventories consisted primarily of coffee beans, drink products, and supplies which are recorded at cost or at net realizable value.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are provided using both the straight-line and declining balance methods over the following estimated useful lives:

Furniture and fixtures	5-7 Years
Store construction	Lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, generally 6 years
Leasehold improvement	Lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, generally 6 years

When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation thereon are removed, and any resulting gains or losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, not to exceed the length of the lease. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Operating Leases

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC Topic 842, Leases. The Company determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. The Company’s operating leases with a term greater than one year are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, net of current in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the net present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate which represents an estimated rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow equivalent funds on a collateralized basis at the lease commencement date. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share are computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed similar to basic net loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The Company did not have any dilutive, or potentially dilutive, shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. The Company considers the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable based upon our review of the following events or changes in circumstances: the asset’s ability to continue to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods; loss of legal ownership or title to the assets; significant changes in our strategic business objectives and utilization of the asset; or significant negative industry or economic trends. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset are less than its carrying amount. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company was not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the long-lived assets are impaired.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, which is defined under the applicable accounting standards as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measure date. The Company uses valuation techniques to measure fair value, maximizing the use of observable outputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs include management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation.

The financial statements do not include any financial instruments at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis. The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. There were no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. There have been no transfers between levels.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company believes that the carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of theses financial instruments. The financial statements do not include any financial instruments at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consisted of taxes currently due and deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for the differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes.

The Company follows ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC 740-10-25 provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax position. The Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company did not recognize additional liabilities for uncertain tax positions pursuant to ASC 740 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations to its customers and establishes allowances when appropriate.

The Company purchases from various vendors for its operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, no purchases from any vendors accounted for a significant amount of the Company’s bean coffee purchases.

Related Parties

The Company follows ASC Topic 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership, or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of management and policies of the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial statements.

May 16, 2020 – $150,000

On May 16, 2020, the Company executed the standard loan documents required for securing a loan (the “EIDL Loan”) from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. As of March 31, 2026, the loan payable, EIDL noted above is not in default.

Pursuant to that certain Loan Authorization and Agreement (the “SBA Loan Agreement”), the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of the EIDL Loan of $150,000, with proceeds to be used for working capital purposes. Interest accrues at the rate of 3.75% per annum and will accrue only on funds actually advanced from the date of each advance. Installment payments, including principal and interest, are due monthly beginning May 16, 2021 (12 months from the date of the SBA Loan) in the amount of $731. The balance of principal and interest is payable 30 years from the date of the SBA Loan. In connection therewith, the Company also received a $10,000 grant, which does not have to be repaid. During the year ended December 31, 2020, $10,000 was recorded in Economy injury disaster loan (EIDL) grant income in the Statements of Operations. The schedule of payments on this loan was later deferred to commence 24 months from the date of loan, which was May 2022.

In connection therewith, the Company executed (i) a loan for the benefit of the SBA (the “SBA Loan”), which contains customary events of default and (ii) a Security Agreement, granting the SBA a security interest in all tangible and intangible personal property of the Company, which also contains customary events of default (the “SBA Security Agreement”).

June 28, 2021 – $350,000

On June 28, 2021, the Company executed the standard loan documents required for securing a second loan (the “Second EIDL Loan”) from the SBA under its EIDL assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. As of March 31, 2026, the loan payable, the Second EIDL noted above is not in default.

Pursuant to that certain Amended Loan Authorization and Agreement (the “SBA Loan Agreement”), the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of the Second EIDL Loan of $500,000, with proceeds to be used for working capital purposes. Interest accrues at the rate of 3.75% per annum and will accrue only on funds actually advanced from the date of each advance. Installment payments, including principal and interest, are due monthly beginning April 16, 2022 (24 months from the original date of the SBA Loan) in the amount of $2,505. The balance of principal and interest is payable 30 years from the original date of the SBA Loan.

9. LOAN PAYABLE, PAYROLL PROTECTION LOAN PROGRAM (PPP)

Loans payable, Payroll Protection Loan Program (PPP) consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2026			December 31, 2025

Loan payable from Payroll protection program (PPP)	$	52,025		$	52,025
Less - current portion		(26,307	)		(26,307	)

Total loan payable, payroll protection program (PPP), less current portion	$	25,718		$	25,718

The Paycheck Protection Program Loan (the “PPP Loan”) is administered by the SBA. The interest rate of the loan is 1.00% per annum and accrues on the unpaid principal balance computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. Commencing seven months after the effective date of the PPP Loan, the Company is required to pay the Lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest as required to fully amortize any unforgiven principal balance of the loan by the two-year anniversary of the effective date of the PPP Loan (the “Maturity Date”). The PPP Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, making materially false or misleading representations to the SBA or the Lender, or breaching the terms of the PPP Loan. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the PPP Loan, collection of all amounts owing from the Company, or filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Company. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. Recent modifications to the PPP by the U.S. Treasury and Congress have extended the time period for loan forgiveness beyond the original eight-week period, making it possible for the Company to apply for forgiveness of its PPP loan.

10. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE NET OF DEBT DISCOUNT

Convertible Notes Payable consisted of the following:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2026			2025

Tranche 1: February 10 2025	$	555,555			555,555

Less: Debt Discount		(501,596	)		(900,198	)
Total Convertible Notes Payable	$	3,665,069			3,266,467

During the initial recognition company calculated fair value of derivative liability on convertible debt and Warrants and recorded the difference as debt discount subject to maximum of notes payable amount. Debt discount will be amortized over the term of the note.

Debt discount is calculated as follows:

	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025

Initial calculation
Original Issuance Discount	$	416,665	$	416,665
Commitment Fees		750,000		750,000

Less: Amortization of Debt Discount		-1465629		(1,067,027	)
Total Debt Discount	$	501,596	$	900,198

On February 6, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers named therein (the “Arena Investors”). Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company will issue 10% original issue discount secured convertible debentures (“Debentures”) in a principal amount of up to $10,000,000, divided into up to four separate tranches that are each subject to certain closing conditions. The conversion price per share of each Debenture, subject to adjustment as provided therein, is equal to 92.5% of the lowest daily VWAP (as defined in the Debentures) of the Company’s shares of common stock during the five trading day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice (as defined in the Debentures). The Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum paid in kind, unless there is an event of default in which case the Debentures will accrue interest at a default rate.

Upon the consummation of the closing of each tranche, the Company issued common stock purchase warrants (“Warrants”) to each Arena Investor who participated in such closing. The Warrants will: (i) provide for the purchase by the applicable Arena Investor of a number of shares of common stock equal to 20% of the total principal amount of the related Debenture purchased by the Arena Investor on the applicable closing date divided by 92.5% of the lowest daily VWAP of common stock for the five consecutive trading day period ended on the last trading day immediately preceding such closing date and (ii) be exercisable at an exercise price equal to 92.5% of the average of the lowest daily VWAP of the common stock over the consecutive trading days immediately preceding the delivery of the applicable Notice of Exercise (as defined in the Warrants).

The Company conducted four closings in February 2025, March 2025, and August 2025 and the Company issued to the Arena Investors Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $3,750,000. The Debentures were sold to the Arena Investors for a purchase price of $4,166,665, representing an original issue discount of 10% and professional fees. The Company also issued to the Arena Investors 1,041,667 Warrants in connection with the Debentures. The fair value of the warrant liability was determined using Monte Carlo valuation techniques and is remeasured at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. In December 2025, the Company entered into a Warrant Exchange and Termination Agreement (“Warrant Termination Agreement”) with Areana Investors. Under the Warrant Termination Agreement, the Company terminated and cancelled all previously issued 1,041,667 Warrants and issued 134,139 common stock shares.

11. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

Derivative Liability consisted of the following:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2026		2025

Initial Recognition on Convertible Debt	$	503,384	$	596,195
Add/Less: Change during the period		47,448		(92,811	)
Total Derivative Liability	$	550,832	$	503,384

The Company analyzed the conversion feature of the Debentures for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging and determined that the embedded conversion feature should be classified as a liability due to their being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion features. ASC 815 requires that the conversion features are bifurcated and separately accounted for as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s convertible debt. The embedded derivative is carried on the balance sheet at fair value. Any unrealized change in fair value, as determined at each measurement period, is recorded as a component of the income statement and the associated carrying amount on the balance sheet is adjusted by the change.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s conversion features of the Debentures were treated as derivative liability and changes in the fair value were recognized in earnings. The Company estimated the fair value of conversion features of the Debentures using Monte Carlo model and the following assumptions:

Schedule of Derivative liability
Risk Free Interest Rate	0.00	%
Expected Term	1.5 years
Expected Volatility	158.08	%
Expected Dividends	None

Expected volatility was based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using daily pricing observations for recent periods. The Company believes this method produced an estimate that was representative of the Company’s expectations of future volatility over the expected term of the Debentures. The Company had no reason to believe that future volatility over the expected remaining life of these warrants was likely to differ materially from historical volatility. The risk-free rate is set to 0%, as both the end price and the minimum price grow and are discounted back at the same risk-free rate in a Geometric Brownian Motion model.

The derivative liability of $596,195 was recognized by the Company on issuance as note payable. The derivative liability was further revalued as of March 31, 2026 at $550,832 and the Company recorded $47,448 as the changes in fair value of derivative liability for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

10. INCOME TAX

A reconciliation of the Company’s effective tax rate to the statutory federal rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:

Description	March 31, 2026			March 31, 2025

Statutory federal rate		21.00	%		21.00	%
State income taxes net of federal income tax benefit and others		6.98	%		6.98	%
Permanent differences for tax purposes and others		0.00	%		0.00	%
Change in valuation allowance		(27.98	)%		(27.98	)%
Effective tax rate		0.00	%		0.00	%

The income tax benefit differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due to California state income taxes of 8.84% and changes in the valuation allowance.

Deferred income taxes reflect the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

December 31,	March 31, 2026			December 31, 2025

Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss	$	6,863,965		$	6,863,965
Bad debt reserve		22,586			22,586
Basis difference in fixed assets		332,510			332,510
Operating lease liabilities		666,142			666,142
State taxes		7,153			7,153

Total Deferred tax liabilities		(644,804	)		(644,804	)
Net deferred tax assets		7,247,551			7,247,551
Less – valuation allowance		(7,247,551	)		(7,247,551	)

Total deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance	$	-		$	-

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had federal and State net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $25.2 million and $17.8 million, respectively. Under the new tax law, the Federal net operating loss arising in tax years ending after December 31, 2017, will be carried forward indefinitely. The Company has pre-tax reform federal net operating loss carryforwards in the amount of approximately $2.0 million as of March 31, 2026. Net operating loss carryforwards arising tax years ending after December 31, 2017, are approximately $23.2 million. The state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2042.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company maintained full valuation allowance for net operating loss carryforward deferred tax asset. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

The Company files a federal income tax return and files tax returns in state and local jurisdictions. The statutes of limitations for its federal income tax returns are open for years 2022 and after, and state and local income tax returns are open for years 2021 and after.

Pasadena – On December 1, 2024, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement for its store located in Pasadena, California. The lease has a term of 120 months (10 years), with an option to extend. The lease commenced on December 1, 2024 and is set to expire in December 2034.

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our variable lease payments primarily consist of maintenance and other operating expenses from our real estate leases. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected to account for these lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Business

Reborn Coffee, Inc. (“Reborn”) is focused on serving high quality, specialty-roasted coffee at retail locations, kiosks and cafes. We are an innovative company that strives for constant improvement in the coffee experience through exploration of new technology and premier service, guided by traditional brewing techniques. We believe Reborn differentiates itself from other coffee roasters through its innovative techniques, including sourcing, washing, roasting, and brewing our coffee beans with a balance of precision and craft.

Founded in 2015 by Jay Kim, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kim and his team launched Reborn Coffee with the vision of using the finest pure ingredients and pristine water. We currently serve customers through our nine retail stores and one franchisee located in California, one store in Korea, and one store in Malaysia.

Reborn Coffee continues to elevate the high-end coffee experience, and we received 1st place traditional still in “America’s Best Cold Brew” competition by Coffee Fest in 2017 in Portland and 2018 in Los Angeles.

The Experience, Reborn

As leading pioneers of the emerging “Fourth Wave” movement, we are redefining specialty coffee as an experience that demands much more than premium quality. We consider ourselves leaders of the “fourth wave” coffee movement because we are constantly developing our bean processing methods, researching design concepts, and reinventing new ways of drinking coffee. For instance, the current transition from the K-Cup trend to the pour over drip concept allowed us to reinvent the way people consume coffee, by merging convenience and quality. We took the pour over drip concept and made it available and affordable to the public through our “Pour Over Packs.” Our “Pour Over Packs” allow our consumers to consume our specialty coffee outdoors and on-the-go.

Our success in innovating within the “Fourth Wave” coffee movement is measured by our success in B2B sales with our introduction of our Pour Over Packs to hotels. With the introduction of our Pour Over Packs to major hotels, our B2B sales increased as these companies recognized the convenience and functionality our Pour Over Packs serve to their customers.

Our continuous research and development is essential to developing new parameters in the production of new blends. Our first place position in “America’s Best Cold Brew” competition by Coffee Fest in 2017 in Portland and 2018 in Los Angeles is a testament to the way we believe we lead the “fourth wave” movement by example.

Centered around our core values of service, trust, and well-being, we deliver an appreciation of coffee as both a science and an art. Developing innovative processes such as washing green coffee beans with magnetized water, we challenge traditional preparation methods by focusing on the relationship between water chemistry, health, and flavor profile. Through leading research studies, testing brewing equipment, and refining roasting/brewing methods, we proactively distinguish exceptional quality from good quality by starting at the foundation and paying attention to the details. Our mission places an equal emphasis on humanizing the coffee experience, delivering a fresh take on “farm-to-table” by sourcing internationally. In this way, we create opportunities to develop transparency by paying homage to origin stories and spark new conversations by building cross-cultural communities united by a passion for the finest coffee.

Through a broad product offering, we provide customers with a wide variety of beverages and coffee options. As a result, we believe we can capture share of any experience where customers seek to consume great beverages whether in our inviting store atmospheres which are designed for comfort, or on the go through our pour over packs, or at home with our whole bean ground coffee bags. We believe that the retail coffee market in the US is large and growing. According to IBIS, in 2025, the retail market for coffee in the United States is expected to be $74.3 billion. This is expected to grow due to a shift in consumer preferences to premium coffee, including specialized blends, espresso-based beverages, and cold brew options. We aim to capture a growing portion of the market as we expand and increase consumer awareness of our brand.

Current Operation

We have a production and distribution center at our headquarters that we use to process and roast coffee for wholesale and retail distribution.

Long-lived Assets

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. The Company considers the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable based upon our review of the following events or changes in circumstances: the asset’s ability to continue to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods; loss of legal ownership or title to the assets; significant changes in our strategic business objectives and utilization of the asset; or significant negative industry or economic trends.

Revenues. Revenues were approximately $5.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.7 million for the comparable period in 2025, representing an increase of approximately $3.5 million, or 207.8%. The increase in sales for the period was primarily driven by the logistics service revenue.

Product, food and drink costs. Product, food and drink costs were approximately $0.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.9 million for the comparable period in the prior year, representing a decrease of approximately $0.4 million, or 44%. The decrease for the period was mainly driven by the low volume of stores sales.

Cost of service income – subcontractors. Subcontractor costs were approximately $2.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

Gross profit. Gross profit was approximately $2.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.8 million for the comparable period in 2025, representing an increase of approximately $1.3 million, or 173.5%. The increase in gross profit for the period was primarily driven by increase in service income.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were approximately $2.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1.9 million for the comparable period in 2025, representing an increase of approximately $0.5 million, or 29.9%. This increase in general and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the comparable period in the prior year was primarily due to increases in professional services and costs related to logistics to support growth plans, as well as costs associated with outside administrative, legal and professional fees and other general corporate expenses for a public company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have a history of operating losses and negative cash flow in operating activities. We have incurred recurring net losses, including net losses from operations before income taxes of approximately $1.5 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We used approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million of cash for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

During April 2026, we conducted four closings pursuant to the Debenture Purchase Agreement and sold Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $ $4,166,665 for a purchase price of $3,750,000, representing an original issue discount of 10%. We also issued to the Debenture Investors 1,041,667 Debenture Warrants in connection with the closings.

In addition, we entered into an ELOC Purchase Agreement with Arena whereby, we may, subject to various terms and conditions, including, without limitation that we maintain an effective registration statement covering shares issuable pursuant to the ELOC Agreement, at our discretion, direct Arena to purchase up to $50.0 million of shares of our common stock under the ELOC Agreement from time-to-time. The purchase price per share for the shares of common stock that we may elect to sell to Arena under the ELOC Agreement will fluctuate based on the market prices of our common stock for each purchase made pursuant to the ELOC Agreement, if any. Accordingly, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares that will be sold to Arena, the actual purchase price per share to be paid by Arena for those shares, if any, or the actual gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales. As of the date hereof, we have not drawn down on the ELOC Purchase Agreement.

The extent to which we rely on Arena and/or the Debenture Investors as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors including, the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working and other capital from other sources. If obtaining sufficient funding from ELOC Agreement were to prove unavailable or prohibitively dilutive, we may need to secure another source of funding in order to satisfy our working and other capital needs. Even if we were to sell to Arena all of the shares of common stock available for sale to Arena under the ELOC Agreement and conduct the remaining closings pursuant to the Debenture Purchase Agreement, we may still need additional capital to fully implement our business, operating and development plans. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences may be a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

Our cash needs will depend on numerous factors, including our revenues, completion of our product development activities, customer and market acceptance of our product, and our ability to reduce and control costs. We expect to devote substantial capital resources to, among other things, fund operations and continue development plans.

To support our existing and planned business model, we need to raise additional capital to fund our future operations. We have not experienced any difficulty in raising funds through loans and have not experienced any liquidity problems in settling payables in the normal course of business and repaying loans when they fall due. Successful renewal of our loans, however, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. In addition, the increasingly competitive industry conditions under which we operate may negatively impact on our results of operations and cash flows. Additional financing is anticipated to fund our operations in near future. However, other than the ELOC Agreement and the Arena Debenture Transaction, there are no current agreements or understandings with regard to the form, time or amount of such financing and there is no assurance that any of these financing can be obtained or that we can continue as a going concern.

Credit Facilities

Economic Injury Disaster Loan

On May 16, 2020, we executed an Economy injury disaster loan (the “EIDL Loan”) from the SBA under its EIDL assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. As of March 31, 2026, the EIDL Loan is not in default.

Pursuant to the SBA Loan Agreement, we borrowed an aggregate principal amount of the EIDL Loan of $500,000, with proceeds to be used for working capital purposes. Interest accrues at the rate of 3.75% per annum and will accrue only on funds actually advanced from the date of each advance. Installment payments, including principal and interest, are due monthly beginning May 16, 2021 (12 months from the date of the SBA Loan Agreement) in the amount of $731. The balance of principal and interest is payable 30 years from the date of the SBA Loan. In connection therewith, we also received a $10,000 grant, which does not have to be repaid. During the year ended December 31, 2020, $10,000 was recorded in EIDL grant income in the Statements of Operations. The schedule of payments on this loan was later deferred to commence 24 months from the date of loan and we has paid all payments owed since May 2022.

In connection therewith, we executed (i) a loan for the benefit of the SBA, which contains customary events of default and (ii) a Security Agreement, granting the SBA a security interest in all of our tangible and intangible personal property, which also contains customary events of default (the “SBA Security Agreement”).

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

In May 2020, we secured a loan under the PPP administered by the SBA in the amount of $115,000. In February 2021, we secured a second loan under this program in the amount of approximately $167,000. The interest rate of the loan is 1.00% per annum and accrues on the unpaid principal balance computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. Commencing seven months after the effective date of each PPP Loan, we are required to pay the Lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest as required to fully amortize any unforgiven principal balance of the loan by the two-year anniversary of the effective date of the loan. The PPP Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, making materially false or misleading representations to the SBA or the Lender, or breaching the terms of the PPP Loan. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the PPP Loan, collection of all amounts owing, or filing suit and obtaining judgment against us. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. Recent modifications to the PPP by the U.S. Treasury and Congress have extended the time period for loan forgiveness beyond the original eight-week period, making it possible for the Company to apply for forgiveness of its PPP loan. We were granted forgiveness for the initial PPP Loan prior to December 31, 2021 and expects to be granted forgiveness on the remainder subsequently.

Leases

We currently lease all company-owned retail locations. Operating leases typically contain escalating rentals over the lease term, as well as optional renewal periods. Rent expense for operating leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term and begins when Reborn has the right to use the property. The difference between rent expense and cash payment is recorded as deferred rent on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Pre-opening rent is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Tenant incentives used to fund leasehold improvements are recorded in deferred rent and amortized as reductions to rent expense over the term of the lease.

Income Taxes

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal and California state jurisdictions. We also file income tax returns in South Korea and Malaysia related to our subsidiaries located in those countries. Income taxes in South Korea and Malaysia is not material.

We are taxed at the prevailing U.S. corporate tax rates. We are treated as a U.S. corporation and a regarded entity for U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. Accordingly, a provision is being recorded for the anticipated tax consequences of our reported results of operations for U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we are required to disclose pursuant to these regulations. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into operating lease commitments, purchase commitments and other contractual obligations. These transactions are recognized in our financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

The preparation of financial statements requires management to utilize estimates and make judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates are evaluated by management on an ongoing basis, and the results of these evaluations form a basis for making decisions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements are reasonable. The critical accounting policies affecting our financial reporting are summarized in Note 2 to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have determined that all other issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements are inapplicable or insignificant to us and once adopted are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17 C.F.R. 229 (10)(f)(i) and are not required to provide information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of March 31, 2026. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding any required disclosure.

Management has identified control deficiencies regarding inadequate accounting resources, the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Our management believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of our accounting staff. The small size of our accounting outsourced staff may prevent adequate controls in the future due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.

To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were fairly stated in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
